Effective security starts with real-time visibility into all activity on all systems, networks, databases, and applications. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager enables your business with true, real-time situational awareness and the speed and scale required to identify critical threats, respond intelligently, and ensure continuous compliance monitoring. Security teams now have access to real-time, risk relevant information to obtain a stronger security posture while shortening response time.
Advanced risk and threat detection — Enterprise Security Manager connects evolving threat data with a real-time understanding of the risk, asset importance, and security posture throughout the enterprise. This dynamic context, combined with our highly intelligent correlation engine, provides risk scoring and threat prioritization that continually adapts to the enterprise environment. In addition, available integration with McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software help you detect, correlate, and remediate threats in minutes across your entire IT infrastructure.
Policy-aware compliance management — As compliance requirements evolve, so must your SIEM. Enterprise Security Manager makes compliance management easy with hundreds of pre-built dashboards, complete audit trails, and reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC-CIP, FISMA, GLBA, SOX, and others. Our support for the Unified Control Framework also allows you to report your policies against more than 240 global regulations and control frameworks.
Critical facts in minutes, not hours — Our highly tuned appliance can collect, process, and correlate billions of events from multiple years and keep all information available locally for immediate ad hoc queries, forensics, rules validation, and compliance.
Global Threat Intelligence — An optional live feed of McAfee GTI IP Reputation data provides valuable, real-time information on external threats gathered from hundreds of millions of sensors around the globe, allowing you to pinpoint malicious activity on your network. Enterprise Security Manager can use the GTI IP Reputation data to quickly identify conditions where an internal host has communicated with a known bad actor.
Use one environment to consolidate, correlate, and report on security information from heterogeneous devices at lightning speed.
Integrate McAfee Global Threat Intelligence services and McAfee Risk Advisor with McAfee Enterprise Security Manager for a prioritized view of events, assets, and countermeasures.
Provide contextual information (vulnerability scanners, identity, authentication management systems, privacy solutions, or other supported systems) to enrich each event with context, allowing for a better understanding of how network and security events correlate to real business processes and policies.
Drive instant corrective action, such as issuing new configurations, implementing new policies, and deploying software updates.
Consolidate audit and compliance activities for over 240 regulations within a single pane of glass for continuous governance and rapid reporting.
Leverage our custom-built database engine and integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software to extend visibility and control across your entire security and compliance management environment.

Built for big security data, McAfee Global Threat Intelligence for McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) puts the power of McAfee Labs directly into the security monitoring flow using McAfee's high-speed, highly intelligent security information and event management (SIEM) solution.
The security information and event management (SIEM) market is defined by the customer's need to analyze security event data in real time for internal and external threat management, and to collect, store, analyze and report on log data for regulatory compliance and forensics. The vendors that are included in Gartner's analysis have technologies that have been designed for this purpose, and they actively market and sell these technologies to the security buying center.
The McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is able to gather, store, and analyze logs and data from a large amount of sources and then correlate events based on rules, possible risk, or historical trends.
With McAfee Enterprise Security Manager it is possible for DTS to get a current, real-time overview of the security situation while offering the necessary scalability.
McAfee integrates NitroSecurity products into its portfolio, improving its SIEM offering.
The monitoring, correlation, alerting, and reporting capabilities of McAfee Enterprise Security Manager met all of the requirements of SFPCU's internal auditors.

How Intelligent and scalable SIEM solutions help IT security professionals stay on top of an ever-evolving, data-driven environment. A report from McAfee and CIO.
This report takes a candid look at triggers for considering a new security management platform, walking through each aspect of the decision, and presenting a process to migrate.
This Pike Pulse report presents an analysis of the current governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) vendors that are believed to be the best positioned for the future. McAfee scores the highest in assessment of GRC vendors for smart grid security.
Big data is changing the face of the global business landscape with few technologies left untouched by the opportunities it presents and information security is no different.
Broad adoption of SIEM technology is being driven by the need to detect threats and breaches, as well as by compliance needs. Early breach discovery requires effective user activity, data access and application activity monitoring. Leading analyst firm Gartner has placed McAfee as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management.

ForeScout CounterACT integrates with McAfee ePO and ESM to provide this information in realtime for both managed and unmanaged hosts.
When there are indications that an attack may have occurred, security analysts require immediate visibility into the state of systems. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager seamlessly integrates with McAfee Real Time to gather system state continuously, introducing unprecedented situational awareness.
De meest bedreigende vorm van cyberaanval is onzichtbaar. Met behulp van geavanceerde technieken om haar aanwezigheid te verbergen, kan een stealth aanval buiten de OS te bedienen of te verplaatsen dynamisch over eindpunten aan de acties van de aanvallers 'te verbergen. Het risico voor ondernemingen is echt, met een high-profile aanvallen zoals Operation High Roller invloed bedrijven over de hele wereld. Traditionele antivirus-of intrusion prevention systemen zijn geen partij voor deze nieuwe ras van aanval, in plaats daarvan, moeten bedrijven gelaagde security controles die samenwerken om de aanwezigheid en acties van sluipende malware en aanvallers te detecteren.
The most menacing type of cyberattack is invisible. Using sophisticated techniques to hide its presence, stealthy malware may operate outside of the OS or move dynamically across endpoints to conceal the attackers' actions. The risk to enterprises is real, with high-profile attacks such as Operation High Roller impacting companies around the globe. Traditional antivirus or intrusion prevention systems are no match for this new breed of stealthy malware; instead, enterprises need layered security controls that work together to detect the presence and actions of stealthy malware and attackers.
The McAfee solution has two primary components: McAfee Firewall Enterprise and McAfee Network Security Platform. The McAfee Firewall and the IPS appliance both have add-on features that can optimize your visibility into the network. McAfee SIEM and other optional products help extend visibility and analytics to more aspects of network traffic.
McAfee enables enterprises to collect, analyze, and preserve security forensic information. With a solution that includes content- and context-aware SIEM, McAfee provides alerts to security events, as well analysis on how the attacked occurred, affected users, and compromised data — so you can better understand the severity of a security breach.
The McAfee solution has two primary components: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software and McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, with additional integrations to extend visibility and control across the entire security and compliance management environment.
This paper addresses the Big Security Data challenge and highlights the key criteria organizations need to consider for processing security information in light of today's dynamic threat landscape.
This paper will walk you through the entire process — from soup to nuts — of evaluating, selecting, and deploying a SIEM. It offers pragmatic advice on how to get it done based on years working through this process as both consumers and vendors of SIEM technology. The process is not always painless, but we are certain it will help you avoid foundering on bad technology and inter-office politics. You owe it to yourself and your organization to ask the right questions and to get answers. It is time to slay the sacred cow of your substantial SIEM investment, and to figure out your best path forward.

This white paper examines cyber security issues for industrial control systems with a specific focus on security event monitoring as it applies to industrial control networks such as SCADA.
Today's faster, newer and greatly improved malicious user requires a faster, newer and greatly improved response. Smarter attackers require more intelligent countermeasures, including faster and more reliable analysis, to react to security issues.
In this paper, we will explore the fundamental requirements for a sound log management solution and review some examples of less than optimum product deployments. Finally, we will examine what a US federal agency should be looking for in an extensible log management strategy, and propose a workable solution for tighter integration into and support of an organization's applicable and prospective security and compliance programs and initiatives.
In this paper, we explore the subject of continuous compliance versus audit-driven compliance, as well as how an ongoing approach to compliance makes compliance a positive force for securing data and systems.

4 Reasons Energy Drinks Are Bad For You
Find yourself turning to energy drinks when you feel sluggish in the morning and throughout the day? If so, you could be negatively impacting your health.
Due to our fast-paced lifestyles, the energy drink industry is booming. Energy drinks are consumed for several reasons: improved athletic performance, weight reduction, mood enhancement for the midday slump, or boosts late into the night.
Regular and excessive energy drink use poses several risks that you should be aware of.
Emotional Risks.
Extreme caffeine content in these beverages may cause emotional problems such as irritability, restlessness and nervousness due to its impact on serotonin and endorphin levels. Caffeine-sensitive individuals may experience these issues more intensely than others. Those with anxiety or depression may experience stronger ups and downs.
Physical Risks.
• Rapid heartbeat and irregular heart rhythms
• Increased blood pressure
• Dehydration resulting from intake of caffeine and other ingredients
• Seizures
• Chest Pains
• In extreme cases, risk of heart attack or sudden death
Although these symptoms are unlikely for most individuals, it is best to take caution when consuming them.
Alcohol Hazards.
Though a popular trend, it is dangerous to pair alcohol with energy drinks. Alcohol can contribute to the effects of energy drinks and increase the risk for heart-related symptoms.
Those who drink alcohol along with energy drinks have a greater risk for extreme intoxication because their assessment of their intoxication is reduced (due to depressant-stimulant actions).
Cognitive and Sleep Problems.
Drinking even just one energy drink in the morning can contribute to difficulty sleeping at night. Caffeine and other stimulants can affect a person's ability to think clearly and focus on important tasks. You may feel like you have the energy to complete a task but may not be able to complete it as efficiently.
If you enjoy sleep, energy drinks are bad for you!
Take caution when consuming energy drinks. Make sure to look at ingredient labels before you drink them—they vary substantially in caffeine content, additional stimulants and other ingredients.
If you find yourself experiencing adverse effects from energy drinks, start cutting back on them.
You can replace them with water, fruit juice or sports drinks, which also work as great energy enhancers. Boost your immune system and energy levels naturally with a healthy diet and natural supplements.

|Home Aspria Vroom Broom Turn & Clean Stretch Kit CVB330S
Order the Aspria CVB330S On Vacdepot!
The Vroom Brooms' hose is the Slinky stretch. The Canplas Slinky hose is the latest stretch hose and has many new features including longer stretch, lower weight, better airflow and low noise. The most notable upgrade is the new larger diameter for better airflow and a longer stretch ratio. Just two and a half inches of the Slinky hose can stretch over one foot, about 25% longer than the previous generation of stretch hose. Advances in the vinyl formulations that make up the skin of the hose now allow a stretch ratio of an amazing 5:1 with 9 threads per inch and lower weight than previous models.
The new Slinky stretch hose also improved the static tension for a perfect balance of recoil, extension and hanging tension. Slinky hoses store without sagging and with excellent compression and are easy to extend even with airflow pulling the hose. Gone is the "springy" feeling of previous models which increases the farther you stretch the hose. The new Slinky has a smooth feel when stretched and the tension remains constant at every length through it's range. The Slinky stretch hose also completely eliminates the whistle sounds that previous models would sometimes emit when stretched and cleaning with particular attachments.
The wall end of the hose features a quality 1.5" CVS semi-flexible vinyl hose cuff with metal band to activate the central vacuum power unit when inserted into the wall valve. The Slinky hose fits all standard wall inlets both Universal and Direct Connection styles, as well as most utility and unit mounted inlets. The tool end of the stretch hose gives you a full 360° swivel grip to prevent kinks in the hose. A thumb operated air-relief lets you decrease suction for easy expansion with airflow restrictive tools such as crevice nozzles and turbo brushes. The tool tip is a standard friction locking 1.25" diameter that fits most all cleaning tools and wands, and connects perfectly with the included RW2050B Aluminum Telescopic Wand.
The Vroom Broom's lightweight telescopic aluminum wand is manufactured in Italy by OMEC, a leading producer of exceptional quality vacuum extensions. Ultra lightweight at just 10 ounces, less than half the weight of two conventional steel wands, making the Vroom Broom great for zipping through the house while cleaning hard floors. The telescopic wand is a standard 32mm friction fit connection on both ends for quick connection of hose and tools. The metal surface is finished with a durable black baked enamel and the top of the wand is fitted with a nylon collar to protect the edge.
The telescopic wand adjusts fully from 22 inches compressed to 39 inches at full extension in one inch increments. The ratcheting mechanism is a positive ratchet design giving a firmer lock into the desired height allowing the tool to be resized on the fly for the user. The latching system is internally sealed from the dirt control tube for perfect air-flow with no catches and the wand extension action is very smooth and easy to operate.
The new Turn & Clean dual axis hard floor brush sets a new standard for maneuverability and performance. With a castle cut full wrap of mixed density bristles the D330 cleans in every direction it is moved. With an extra wide 13" cleaning path the D330 makes quick work of larger areas and the patented swivel pivot connection allows effortless maneuvering in tight spaces unlike any other floor brush. The Turn & Clean's mixed density brushes are highly effective for cleaning all hard floor surfaces from smooth stone, laminate, linoleum, finished wood or stained concrete floors, to thick texture and uneven floor surfaces like distressed wood, terrazzo, slate and unsealed stone or brick. The D330 floor brush excels at cleaning all tile surfaces with any width, depth and finish of grout.
The new D330 Turn-N-Clean adds another axis to the floor nozzles maneuverability. The unique D330's nozzle connector allows for a full 180° swivel, and also provides for a full 90° pivot. Most importantly the D330 can both pivot and swivel at the same time which allows you to hold the nozzle in most any position. Have you ever wanted to turn your floor brush sideways and clean in a tight space? This unique patented nozzle connector allows the D330 Turn & Clean to reach into spaces no ordinary floor nozzle would ever fit. And it does so with ease: no buttons, pedals or latches - just Turn the handle and Clean.
Unlike conventional floor nozzles that only clean in standard front-to-back motion, the D330 can also clean in a sweeping side-to-side motion with the floor nozzle parallel to your body. The side-to-side sweeping motion is a favourite method of commercial cleaners for maintaining large areas of floors in a single pass with incredible speed. Of course the D330 excels at the conventional front to back cleaning motion and the full wrap of castle cut bristles cleans in both forward and backward motions, unlike conventional floor brushes. The innovative application of the Cardan Joint in the vacuum nozzle is one of the many ways that Wessel-Werk provides its users Performance through Innovation.
The brush design of the D330 is also innovative in the full wrap castle cut mixed fill bristle set which uses both synthetic and natural fibers for both flexibility and strength. A brush stiffener shadows the castle cut bristle set keeping the bristles in place and preventing bristle flare which reduces performance. The traditional rear wheel found in many other wide body floor tools is replaced with a row of extra firm fill under the pivot. This set of riding bristles is specially designed to take the extra load of forward motion and transfer this energy into an easy gliding motion. With no wheels required the D330 glides entirely on it' bristle set so it is safe for all hard floor surfaces, and the all bristle nozzle cleans uneven floor surfaces including tile with grout lines and natural stone.
The unique swivel pivot connection keeps the nozzle flat to the floor in every direction and adjusts to the height of every user so the full performance of your vacuum system is delivered directly to the floor. With the airflow of the vacuum correctly focused on the floor the D330's bristles cover the entire cleaning path in each pass. The D330 works by suctioning large particles from the floor and bumping (pushing-brushing-sweeping) small particles which can not be removed by suction alone or have electrostatically clung to the surface, such as fine dust. The Turn & Clean floor brush leaves nothing behind and does not require multiple passes to clean effectively.
Thanks to the unique bristle set arrangement and swivel pivot connector the Turn & Clean is simple to use and requires less hand strength to clean with than standard floor nozzles for less wrist fatigue. The D330 floats on most hard floors and is very easy to steer from the handle using a natural cleaning motion. The D330 also has a tough side. The nozzle body is moulded from polypropylene for a nearly indestructible chassis that will not mark or mar walls, baseboards or furniture. Wessel-Werk's D330 Turn & Clean nozzle is both functional and practical. It is an excellent cleaning tool that will be useful in every home with any hard floor surface, commercial-residential cleaning applications and commercial office/retail cleaning

how to use master out and control room out together
hello, using win 7 pc, can someone advise me on how to use the master fader and the control room out (with monitoring sends/returns) together please...
i was watching the video with gary broham using the ssl and he talked about the control room out but on the back of the rack the master audio out was left empty and then one of the comments said:
"Just a thought about The Bus-Compressor SideChain Routing .
Wouldn't it be better if the Sidechain Eq is fed from the
Master-output instead the Controlroom Out .
If you lower the level of the control out , the bus comp behaviour will change .
So with the alternate routing you can listen whatever you want ,
the Bus-Comp will sound the same"
so now i'm trying to resolve the whole issue/understand what's going on
the video is here:
and he starts talking about side chain compression at about 13:52
please help, thanks, j

Their weekends were burnt and they spent Chinese New Year in the office trawling though thousands of pages of legal documents.
For their hard work, they will not be receiving even a single cent from their client.
Three lawyers from law firm Wong Partnership and three law students from the National University of Singapore worked together pro bono to help a man convicted of sexual offences against his daughter in 2010.
And their effort paid off when their client walked out of court a free man last Wednesday.
In January, Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong had encouraged lawyers to take on more cases pro bono at the opening of the new legal year.
He said: "Pro bono is not just free work, but free work for our poor 'neighbours' without expectation of any kind of material reward – it is the work of the good Samaritan."

WBB Report - Nov. 26
Tarik Hislop • James Madison
Silver Spring, Md./Paint Brush, Sr., Guard
Hislop earns CAA Women's Basketball Player of the Week after leading the Dukes to a 2-1 record at the Cancun Challenge during the Thanksgiving holiday. She averaged a team-high 24.7 points per game, including a career-high 32 points against Green Bay in overtime. Hislop also scored 30 points in JMU's win over Wichita State, including converting twice on one-and-one free throws in the final 15.5 secons to clinch the win. The senior guard shot nearly 46 percent from the floor (28-for-61) and 85 percent from the free throw line (17-for-20). Hislop also added seven assists and six steals during her 114 minutes of action. The senior also was honored by ESPNW as a National Player of the Week for her efforts in Cancun.
Rachel Pearson • Drexel
West Chester, Pa./Archbishop Carroll, Fr., Guard
Pearson was named CAA Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week after coming off the bench to help the Dragons to their first in-season tournament victory since the Big Apple Classic in December 2000. The freshman came off the bench to lead all scorers with 19 points in Drexel's 76-40 victory over UMKC. She shot 7-for-9 (.778) from the floor in the game, including 5-for-6 from beyond the three-point arc. Pearson's 19 points are the most for a Drexel freshman since Gabriela Marginean scored 28 in the CAA first round against Georgia State on March 8, 2007. Pearson finished the week averaging 11.0 points per game to go along with two rebounds, three assists and one steal.
• The 11 league members have posted a 28-22 record early in the season against non-conference foes.
• James Madison earned an overtime victory over Wisconsin-Green Bay during the first day of the Cancun Challenge on Thursday. Green Bay was ranked No. 1 in the Mid-Major poll and was receiving votes in the AP and Coaches polls.
• James Madison's Tarik Hislop was named ESPNW's National Player of the Week on Nov. 26 after her outstanding performance in the Cancun Challenge.
• Drexel's Hollie Mershon and Georgia State's Cody Paulk were named MVP of their respective tournaments after outstanding play over the weekend.
• The CAA Women's Basketball Championship will return to the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Maryland in 2013 for the third straight season.
• Delaware fell out of the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Top 25 Polls on Nov. 19, but continued to receive votes. The Blue Hens (2-2) played the first three games without national all-star Elena Delle Donne, but she returned to the court for the game against Providence College on Nov. 20 and poured in a game-high 22 points to go along with eight rebounds in her return.

Talend and Cloudera Announce Technology Partnership to Simplify Processing of Large Scale Data
Combination of Talend Integration Suite and Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop Provides Unparalleled Ease of Use and Scalability
Los Altos & Palo Alto, Calif., October 12, 2010 — Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software, and Cloudera, a leading provider of Hadoop-based data management software and services, today announced a technology partnership to integrate the two companies' open source solutions to tackle the critical issue of data management. With this partnership, Talend and Cloudera customers can now better leverage Apache Hadoop to drive unprecedented scalability for simplified data transformation and processing.
By partnering together, Talend and Cloudera provide enterprises using Hadoop with the highly scalable processing and distribution capabilities required to handle vast amounts of structured and complex data. Talend's data integration environment makes it possible to create and execute transformation jobs directly in Hadoop, while bringing unmatched usability to Hadoop for the definition of data transformations thanks to Talend's intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
At the same time, Hadoop brings to Talend unparalleled scalability to increase the power of its data integration processes; instead of using costly and difficult-to-manage high-range servers, customers can deploy Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop (CDH) on inexpensive hardware, taking advantage of the highly scalable and massively parallel MapReduce architecture to execute data integration processes. Talend's native support for Hadoop makes it possible to scale to any level and support any complex data type, so companies can leverage their Hadoop clusters for peak data volumes and complex transformations.
"Together, Talend and Cloudera offer an extraordinary level of integration to help companies change the way they handle very large sets of data," said Bertrand Diard, CEO and co-founder of Talend. "Combining the transformation capabilities of Talend Integration Suite with the unprecedented scalability of Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop helps customers to simplify processing of their data while enabling a level of scalability that large organizations demand."
The technology partnership further demonstrates the power of the complete open source Hadoop platform. Talend provides full compatibility with Sqoop, a SQL-to-Hadoop database import and export tool, and Hive, the data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop. For example, companies that need to extract data from applications can leverage Talend's connectors to extract it from disparate sources and load it into Hadoop using Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop data-loading features, including Sqoop and Flume. Talend can also connect reference data sets to load data into CDH via Sqoop.
"Customers use Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop to filter through immense amounts of complex data," said Mike Olson, CEO of Cloudera. "The integration of Talend and Hadoop will simplify and accelerate this quest, enabling organizations of all sizes to tackle the largest and most complex data projects with ease."
About Talend
Talend is the recognized market leader in open source data management. More than 1,500 paying customers around the globe, including eBay, Virgin Mobile, Sony Online Entertainment and Allianz, subscribe to Talend's solutions and services to minimize the costs and maximize the value of data integration, ETL, data quality and Master Data Management.

Fork Union quarterback Christian Hackenberg is back home in Central Virginia -- and trying to keep a low profile.
Hackenberg says his phone has been buzzing practically nonstop since Monday's announcement by the NCAA of sanctions against the Penn State football program. Hackenberg gave a verbal commitment to Penn State in late February.
"Right now, I'm just being quiet with the media," Hackenberg said Tuesday. "I'm still committed, so that's pretty much where I'm going to leave it."
The NCAA sanctions were the latest fallout for Penn State from the Jerry Sandusky child sexual-abuse case. The school was fined $60 million; stripped of its football wins from 1998-2011; banned from playing any postseason games for four years; and stripped of 20 scholarships per season over that same four-year period.
Hackenberg -- rated as a four-star prospect by every major recruiting site, and the top high school quarterback in the country by ESPN -- is considered one of the key commits in new Penn State coach Bill O'Brien's first full recruiting class.
"You get phone calls from schools, everything. It's just crazy," Hackenberg said. "Something that I don't really want to go through right now, but it's part of the deal."
Hackenberg says he's been trying to keep his phone off in an attempt to avoid recruiting calls from college coaches, as well as questions from recruiting reporters.
"It's been pretty hectic," he added. "I've just been trying to stay level-headed, and just rely on the people who are around me, such as Coach, and my parents, and the other players who are committed with me."
The Fork Union football team opens preseason camp on August 7. They'll be preparing for a season opener against Hermitage that will be televised nationally by ESPN on August 25. And Hackenberg says he just wants to focus on his upcoming season.
"Right now I've got August 7 circled on my calender," he said. "So that's where I'm looking ahead right now."

sitemap | ADINA Germany | customer login
How does ADINA program licensing work?
A node-locked license allows ADINA to be run only on the licensed
computer; i.e., the license is tied to a single computer. The node-locked license fee is based
on the number of processors (cores) that the user wants to use to run an
ADINA job on the computer. The most common and basic node-locked license
allows up to two processors (cores) for each job.
The main advantage of a node-locked license is that there is no restriction on
the number of ADINA jobs running on the licensed computer. This type of
license is most often used by a single person on a single computer.
A floating license allows ADINA to be run on any computer (Unix/Linux or Windows)
attached to a network with one of the computers acting as the ADINA license server.
The license server machine can be an ordinary PC or workstation running Unix/Linux
or the Windows operating system.
The main advantage of a floating license is that the ADINA license units
can "float" across to any computer on the network. This type of license
is most suitable when there are several ADINA users who need to run
ADINA on different computers.
The ADINA floating license is issued for Industry users or University users.
Floating License (Industry)
Pricing for industry floating licenses is based on the number of units of each
program module. Each license unit of a program module allows the user to
run a session of the program module on any computer attached to the ADINA
license server computer.
For example, if a customer licenses 2 units of ADINA, 1 unit of ADINA-F,
and 2 units of AUI, then at any one time, the sum of all the ADINA programs
running on all the computers on the network cannot exceed 2 ADINA jobs,
1 ADINA-F job and 2 AUI sessions.
Note that an ADINA-FSI job uses 1 unit of ADINA and
1 unit of ADINA-F. Similary, an ADINA-TMC job uses 1 unit of ADINA and
1 unit of ADINA-T.
In addition, for the solver programs, the number of processors (cores) that can
be used for a single job is limited based on the number of license units
licensed for the program.
Number of Max. number of
license units processors (cores)
1 2
2 4
3 8
4 no limit
Floating License (Educational)
A special educational license is available for the use of ADINA for
research and teaching in the Universities. This special floating
license allows an unlimited number of users to run ADINA throughout the
License Installation

The answer is that we will continue to document all official material as we always have, and we will not ignore anything. It is too early to discuss how to handle the death of the EU as we know it, mainly because we don't know if or to what extent the EU will be discarded (and the actual Story Group announcement does not say anything about that, despite what some sensationalist "news" sites would have you believe), so all that can be accomplished is general speculation, which is off-topic here.

Looking at VST plugins, need audio effects for cartoon characters, anyone know of any compatible plugins?
Will the plugin have to be 64-bit for AE? Will Premier Pro accept a 32-bit plugin?
Any ideas or workarounds?
When it comes to audio, AE is a real lightweight. I have never, ever heard of audio plugins for AE, which is first and foremost a VIDEO application; typically, audio is used just for reference to help timing.
Could you explain your workflow and why you feel such plugins are necessary for your AE work? We might be able to offer viable alternatives.
Just trying to eliminate having to use an audio studio mixer app for voice/pitch distortions, then bringing clip into AE for sync. There are some good VST plugins for recording industry that worked in Premier, but those industries are slow in updating to 64-bit (as required for AE plugins).
Currently, character dialog is recorded and modified with recording studio app (Pro Tools) and clip imported into AE for animation sync. Pro Tools is a large, cumbersome, slow app that i would like to eliminate.
Here's a thought: if you have Production Premium, you have Audition, and a quick inquiry on Adobe's Audition forum would reveal if it supports VST plugins. I recommend a visit to it, and I have a feeling using Audition would be faster than the Pro Tools route.
Audition/ Soundbooth do support Dynamic link, meaning you can import AE compositions without rendering them. How practical that is, is anotehr question...
As the others suggest, you should be doing nothing with audio in After Effects. That's what Audition and Premiere Pro are for. After Effects is terrible at audio. As a motion graphics and compositing application, it supports audio only so that you can use it as a reference for your visuals.
See this:

Well, sir, both you and I said that, but to be totally fair I need to talk up one AE audio effect I REALLY like: Reverb.
I find it highly intuitive, and getting just the sound I want is fast and easy. I prefer using it over all the other audio-only applications where I've tried the reverb.
It's a little cumbersome to go into & out of AE just for that one audio trick, so you need to make sure you get it right the first time.
And to think it's been in AE almost since the beginning, too....
And my own little defence of AE audio: Stereo Mixer. I have an ongoing job that I've done for some years, which generates about 50 different graphics pieces per week, 20 weeks of the year. It's primarily a graphics job, but I need to provide the final output with voice over in the left channel and music in the right. Stereo Mixer allows me to do this simple task within AE, removing the need to double handle all those files. Very simple, but a huge timesaver for me.
But I echo the ststements of everyone here: generally speaking, any audio processing that's even slightly complex or specific should be done in a more appropriate tool.

The hot springs located on the resort are considered to have unique healing powers. The water is mineral-rich, green and is released from the ground at 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit.)
The natural mineral "green" hot springs found bubbling up from the surface at Blue River Resort & Hot Springs have been harnessed to create spectacular pools. Each hot spring pool has varying features and temperatures. In addition, guests can cool off in the fresh-water pool and bullet waterslide.
The surrounding landscape is lush with flowers and rainforest foliage. Panoramic views of the mountains, including the Rincon de la Vieja volcano surround you. Enjoy great food, drinks and an inviting atmosphere at the Tiki Bar & Restaurant.
The Healing Power of Hot Springs:
Around the world, including Costa Rica, hot spring pools utilize the natural water from the ground or heat water using the natural hot rock formations under the ground. However, there are only two to three other locations in Costa Rica found to have a natural water source containing a high natural mineral content (the healing power). Blue River's natural hot springs are high in mineral content, chemical-free and are the cleanest and purest waters in Costa Rica.

Like many animal lovers, I'm of the belief that a dog is not just a pet. When a dog comes into your life, that pup becomes family. Most of my friends share their own beds with dogs. Our Django sleeps with us every single night and has managed to carve out the small space between my husband and me to sleep snuggly. During the day, she usually naps on the couch or with the kids on their bed if they are doing homework or watching TV. Some of the cutest moments have been when the kids and the dogs have both fallen asleep. Sometimes the children have used Django as their own private fluffy pillow, and she likes it just fine. Do you ever use your dogs as pillows? It seems a lot of us do, and I can't quite figure out if we humans love it more, or if the pups get the most out of the deal. Check out these adorable photos of people (and animals) using dogs as pillows. - By Danielle Sullivan

For the past five weeks I've been offering a free writing workshop at the public library. In the beginning it was only intended to be a one night a week event. But as numbers swelled and the original 30 seats filled quickly, I decided to add another night. So for five weeks, some 60 people have been gathering for three hours once a week over two nights. That's 30 workshop hours at no cost for the patrons, the library or me.
In those five weeks I've watched people change as writers. They've gone from awkward, shy and doubtful into writers with confidence. They've been able to reconnect to a love of language that enables flow and power and grace. They've changed as people. They remember that they are beings whose major gift from Creator is the gift of communication.
As I watched them emerge, something happened to me, too. I was able to reconnect to a love of being a guide, of being someone who knew a territory so well that it was only natural to want to show it to others. I've been a professional writer for almost 35 years now. To bring the wealth of that experience to those who aspire to do what I do is wonderful.
And it's free. It costs me nothing to go to the library for three hours a night. Heck, I'd probably be doing that anyway to read, research or write in a quiet corner. A library has been my favourite haunt most of my life. It doesn't cost the library anything either. There's no staff to pay, no supplies to provide. There's just the provision of space and they did that eagerly.
So the cost of 30 workshop hours is nothing. But the payoff to the people who attended is immense. The benefits they gathered from being able to learn from an award-winning author of 13 titles in 20 years are innumerable. The payoff for me is a heart gladdened by the experience of giving. For the library it's increased awareness of its function in the community.
So everyone was a winner. Which leads me to wonder about all of the people in this community who are expert at something. There are incredibly gifted and talented folks who live here. Many great livings are being made by virtue of being a part of this thriving community of ours. My career exists at this stage of it because of the influence of Kamloops and its people.
To realize that made it easy to offer my time, experience and expertise at no cost. Call it payback. Call it gratitude. Call it reciprocity. Whatever label you choose to apply to it, it remains an act of recognition of the spiritual fact that we all exist because everyone else does.
Imagine if we could all remember that. Imagine if anyone who had a professional level of talent offered their time to give that ability away to those who aspire to it. Imagine how our world would be different almost overnight. Imagine how much closer we would be as a community, as a nation, as a human species. That's the larger and more important picture here.
If there were no people I would have no career. That's just a fact. All my treasures and pleasures would not exist. So in recognition of that I chose to act in a manner of thankfulness. My big reward? I got cookies and a jar of honey. I got the looks in the eyes of genuinely grateful people. I got huge hugs. No salary or award could ever match that.

If you think the owner is lying to you, get the opinion of your neighbors or the city sewer or planning department. Surely the city would have some sort of record on how the subdivision sewer was installed.

Norwegian Petroleum Directorate announces oil discovery northeast of the Visund field in the North Sea - 34/6-2 S & 34/6-2 A
Monday, Dec 03, 2012Total E&P Norge AS, operator of production licence 554, is in the process of completing the drilling of wildcat well 34/6-2 S and appraisal well 34/6-2 A.
The wells were drilled about 30 kilometres northeast of the Visund field in the northern part of the North Sea, and about 185 kilometres northwest of Bergen.
The primary exploration target for well 34/6-2 S was to prove petroleum in Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Cook and Statfjord formations).
The secondary exploration target was to prove petroleum in Upper Triassic reservoir rocks (the Lunde formation). The well encountered a gross oil column of approx. 100 metres in the Cook formation, with good reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was not encountered. Both the Statfjord and Lunde formations were aquiferous.
The objective of well 34/6-2 A was to delineate the oil discovery. The oil/water contact was encountered and confirmed the extent of the discovery. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 4 and 12 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil. The licensees will evaluate the discovery together with other prospects nearby, and the plan is to drill a new exploration well near the discovery.
Extensive data acquisition and sampling were carried out. A successful formation test was carried out in the Cook formation. The production rate was 800 standard cubic metres (Sm3) of oil per flow day through a 28/64-inch nozzle opening. The test showed good flow properties. The well produced oil with a low gas/oil ratio.
These are the two first exploration wells drilled in production licence 554. The licence was awarded in APA 2009. The 34/6-2 S and 34/6-2 A wells were drilled to vertical depths below sea level of 4050 metres and 3810 metres, respectively. Well 34/6-2 S was terminated in the Lunde formation in the Upper Triassic and well 34/6-2 A was terminated in the Cook formation in the Lower Jurassic. Water depth at the site is 384 metres and the wells will now be permanently plugged and abandoned. The wells were drilled with the Borgland Dolphin drilling facility, which will now drill development wells on the Oseberg field, where Statoil Petroleum AS is the operator.

The investigation into the death of a 9-year-old Rancho Calaveras girl continued today, Calaveras County Sheriff's Capt. Jim Macedo said. He declined to give specific details about the cause of her death, which is widely reported as having been from stabbing.
Macedo identified the girl as Leila Fowler and said her 12-year-old brother discovered her with severe injuries after he first glimpsed an intruder in their Rippon Road home Saturday afternoon. The children's parents were away at a "public event," Macedo said. The girl was pronounced dead at Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas.
The boy telephoned the parents, who then called 911 and a dispatcher then called the home and talked to the boy before deputies arrived, Macedo said.
Rippon Road and neighboring streets were closed to anyone except residents, who were told to stay indoors behind locked doors while a search continued throughout the rest of Saturday and into Sunday. The closure remained in effect Sunday, but Macedo said he hoped it could "potentially" be lifted by Sunday evening.
Asked at the press conference if the brother was a suspect, Macedo said, "He is not a suspect at this time, but we are continuing to talk to him." Tips and leads continue to come into the Sheriff's Office, including from outside Calaveras County, Macedo said. He described the investigation as "very active" and said there is "no specific suspect."
Macedo said a search warrant was issued Saturday night and evidence, including fingerprints and DNA, was collected at the crime scene.
Descriptions of the alleged intruder varied, Macedo said. The Sheriff's Office earlier said that multiple law enforcement agencies were searching the area for a suspect described as a white or Hispanic male, with longer gray hair, 6-foot, muscular build, last seen wearing a black long sleeved shirt and blue pants. This suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
Assisting the Sheriff's Office were law enforcement officers from the Angels Camp Police Department; sheriff's offices in San Joaquin, Tuolumne and Amador counties, the state Department of Justice and the Highway Patrol. The FBI had been contacted but was not actively involved in the investigation.
Residents were asked to report suspicious activity and to call 911 if they see something. A tip line has been set up at 754-6030.

Former GOP Rep Touts Market Solutions To Climate Change
Bob Inglis believes in climate change and that doomed his re-election bid in 2010. The South Carolina Republican lost his Congressional seat after being targeted by the Tea Party. But he continues his quest to find climate solutions based on free enterprise. Inglis launched the Energy and Enterprise Initiative last year at George Mason University. He was in Albuquerque this week and spoke with KUNM's Megan Kamerick.
